Recent events have made me realise that I am entirely out of the loop of dealing with parents. Effectively, I don't have any at all. In a lot of ways, I haven't had any for about 6 years, as my mum's been absent on a vacation to vodkaville, and my dad's not with us any more. Parents seem to have a lot of expectations, scripts and pressures, so I'm kind of glad. When my parents did have expectations, they were so obviously unreasonable that they were merely something to react against. The downside of this is that I just react against parental plans by default.
In related sad things, I have to do a mothers' day arrangement in my floristry course. That made me sad. The only wry joy I could glean was to imagine an arrangement where I filled a vodka bottle full of pee and jammed a couple of dead twigs and rotting veg into it. That would be apt, although my mother would naturally prefer the full vodka bottle.
